Is there any sort of web guide that can get me started with this. I pretty much want to use it for making people dance with kittens and what not. The "version" I have does not have a help file.

The help files are more for reference than tutorial. You should get a cheap "Photoshop for Dummies" book that introduces the basic concepts and then just start playing with the tools.

If there's something very specific that you want to do with bunnies and humans, then a more advanced book might have a specific guide to that process.

Or just search for Photoshop tutorials each version is pretty much the same at the basic level - just get comfortable with selections and layers first - Kittenshopping will come easy eventually.

if you are trying to make an animated gif, i dont think photoshop supports it (i am using 5.0 tho, so maybe its changed)

five years pass...

How do I add an icanhascheesburger style strip that has site address to given pictures without having to do it from scratch every time?

Not sure I get the question, but the answer is probably "actions". Or scriptably, ImageMagick.

Wow. OK, when you use the LOLBuilder, it overlays that darkened, "transparent" strip at the bottom of the image that has icanhascheezeburger.com site credit dealie. How do you do that?

Also I should say that I have Paint Shop Pro, not PS.

There's a bunch of ways to do it. One way is to use ImageMagick, preferably in a script. Another way is to create a Photoshop action, which is a bit more labor-intensive, and which you can't do.

ImageMagick, for example:

ImageMagick is totally fucking amazing, and if you want to do enough overlays to warrant automating the process, you should learn it.

please get the fucking Paint Shop rabble off our otherwise classy photoshop thread!
